Last week was the hardest- not only did I have to ride my bike to the gym, but I had to ride home after I was finished working out! But once I realized my bike was in high gear that fateful Monday (brain burps are becoming common for me now), I didn't dread trying to ride. Much.
My legs were still feeling rubbery when Wednesday came about, and I asked a friend for a ride. She did one better and let me borrow her car so I could get to the gym! I was very grateful, because I really didn't think taking on the bike again that day was going to be a good idea. My legs told me so.
And I did do a one hour workout because I drove, so don't think I'm lazy!
Friday came and I took the bike again, this time making sure I was in the right ding-dang gear. It was a nice ride (though I still had to get off and walk halfway through going to and coming from the gym), and my legs protested just the way they should after all that exercising- just enough to let me know I did a good job, and still allowing me to walk.
No weight loss after those first five pounds, but that's okay by me- that means I'm probably getting some muscle!
This week I have the car, and that's a good thing- the weather doesn't look like it's going to cooperate. I did my one hour workout, this time adding a little more weight to the machines- just a little, mind you, I don't want to have bulging biceps, but I want my muscles to know I mean business!
Veggie consumption might be a little harder this week, because my daughter and I finished off much of them last week- and I don't go shopping again until later this week. I'm going to try making some of their favorite meals without flour, which will be a HUGE challenge, since most of what my son likes are noodles and bread! Food-wise, this is going to be an interesting week!
God Bless!
